Lewes" "a the June number of the JQaraxy baa called the attention of the pnblio to the disproportion which exists between the opinion entertained of "George Eliol" in Eng? land and America. In England cultivated pe0 pW regard the novels of "George Eliot" aa ranking with the no vela of Thackeray; in Ameri? ca there is no such measurement. The reason ia that the American mind does not under .stand-nor sympa th iz 3 with the si is of life pre? sented in "Adam Bede," the "Hill on the Floss,"And "Felix Holt." They are wonder? ful pictures nevertheless, and aro fairly enti? tled to the placo they have won at nome. The ?reUtioDship of "Mr. and Mr3. Lowe*" 13 also ihe subject of comment. As far as we remem? ber it tba story is this : Hr. Lawes was mar? ried in eirly life, his wife subsequently eloped with a paramour; throe or four years lalor Lewes lonnd her in great distress and relieved ber necessities, settling np tn her a part of his inoime; he then applied for a divorce which was refused by the Eoglish courts on the ground that his provision f Dr the erring wife was a forgiveneas of her error. Tho Scotch coarta wore lera rigorous, however, and, hav? ing secured a divorce thoie, Lewes married Hies E vd ns on a Scotch certificate. - -The New Orleans Times relates that twen? ty-five 3 eira ago, when the case of Mrs. Gaines first carno up for trial in that city, her counsel having withdrawn because of a difficulty with the judge, General Gaines himself claimed, as an admitted member of the bar, to represent his wife's interests. Unfortunately, when he -studied law in Yirgiuia, it was under t very different system or jurisprudence, and he felt .vsrp -mach oat at sea in the courts of a civil law State. He would, therefore, ask that the lady defendant, who was better acquainted with fhe remarkable facts of ber history than any one else, should be allowed to address the jory ia her case. The judge stated that the lady had tho right to argue her own "SlsC. Then- the General, with that grand j old dignity for which he was so distin? guished, led forward Mrs. Gaines, who pro? ceeded to address the jory at great length, xeading numerous doctmoc ts bearing upon her oase. Whilst reading these documents, th? Jodgo, whowaa a high-spirited man, in terrered, ?nd notified her that abe could not be allowed to re td dojutnonts which were not in evidence in tho case. The lady still persist ins;, the Judge again interfered, and a disa? greeable wrangle arose, in the midst of which Hrs. Gaines charged the Judge with having an interest against her. Judge Buchanan retort? ed with temper, and notified General Gaines that he "wai expected* lo con&oT bis wife in court, where, no persons ' were privileged. Whereupon tho-stately old General arose to his foll attitude of six feet three, and assuming the position of a commander of grenadiers, and gracefully touching the belt ol his sword, responded: "May it please your Honor, for everything that lady shall say or do, I hold myself personally responsible in every manner and form known to the laws of my corin try or the laws or honor." This reply and the accom? panying action and the appearance of the gen? eral in bis military garb, aroused to a still higher pitch the Irish fire of the judge, who quickly answered : "General Gaines, this court will not be overawed by military authorities." "Bpst assure i, your Honor, that when an at? tempt of that sort is made, the sword which I wear in conformity to the regulations of the service, and ont of respect to this honorable court, will be quickly unsheathed to defend the rights and dignity of your Honor and of all the civil tribunals of my coon try." After these explanations, peace and order were re? stored. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1869. The Crops. We continue this morning the publication of letters, showing the tondition of the crops in the different seotionB of the State. Upon the whole the accounts are encourag? ing, bnt we shall make no general comment until our returns are complete. The State Board of Equalization. Our letters from different parts of the State contain vehement denunciations of the action of the State Board of Equalisation in raising the assessments of real estate. The county assessors were on the spot, and may be safely presumed to have had more trust? worthy information on the subject than could be obtained by a central board sitting in "Columbia. Their assessment should not hare been meddled with, without the grav? est and moat serious deliberation. Patting this and that together, we can only account for the conduct of the State Board by sup? posing that the.total values returned to them were muon less than they expected, and were therefore run up haphazard to the desired amount. Governor Scott - who .thinks that he knows as much about the State as any other man--announced that the taxable property would amount to about $800,000,000, and lt must hare been dis? gusting in the extreme when the total returns were found to amount to only $164, 000,000 A correspondent in Walhalla, puts the whole question in very few words. He says: " The assessed raine of real estate in Oconee, has been raised one hundred per cent, while in Pickens, where lands are worth more, it is only raised twenty-ire per cent. I heard a person remark the other day that if the Radicals wanted all we had, just to say so, and not whip the devil around the stump in that manner. Thu hat aiwayi been a vhile county, nd after thu IT WILL BS STILL WHIT?. Oconee and Pick ens both went Democratic in May." This is the key-note to strike. There is but one way to get rid of public extrava? gance, high taxation, swarms rf oounty and township officers, boards of equaliza? tion and th? like. And that way is to de? feat Radicalism everywhere and upon all occasions. This caa be done hy showing that Radicalism in South Carolina is as ruin? ous to the pocket aa it is des truo ti ve of in? dustry and integrity. - The Pert Hoy al Railroad. The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says, that contracts hare been executed which will ensure the completion within the next twelve months of the railroad between Au? gusta and- Port Royal. Taylor & Co., of New York, are said to hare contracted to build the road, one hundred and ten miles, "for the sam of $700,000, to be paid to "them in the stock of the company." We shall ba glad to see the Port Royal Railroad built, if it be done without a State subsidy. It will not be easier to draw away trade from Charleston to Port Royal than it has been to take trade from Wil? mington for the benefit of Beaufort, North Carolina; and the Savannah and Charleston Road will certainly be a gainer by the com? pletion of the new line. We may add, that if Taylor & Co. can build one hundred and ten miles of railroad for $700,000, or a little more than $6000 a mile-the stock being worth not more than par-we should like to take a few hundred miles more at the same price. The American Cyclopaedia. "The American Annual Cyclopaedia," for 1868, is juet issued from the press of D. Appleton & Co. This is the eighth issue of this important annual register, bringing down the record of events to the close of the year 1868. It embraces the complete annals.of military, civil and social affairs of every country for the last year, afford? ing the most thorough contemporaneous history in the language. It is a reoord of all that has been done in government, civil and military; a history of e. *."umerce, sci? ence, discovery, literature, S . \nce, agri? culture and mechanical indi^'ry; it con? tains biographies of the distinguished dead; public documente; statistics; it treats of all countries and of all interests. It is a work of reference for the professional and busi- i ness man, and a book important to ali who : desire to keep themselves well informed in . the world's doings. A PUBLIC MISTING has been held in Darlington to organize a cotton factory. There was muoh enthusiasm, and c o mn itt ees .' were appointed to open books and get the enterprise fairly under way. Well done, Darlington ! THE citizens of Orangeburg, as will be seen from the letter of our correspondent, are taking vigorous action against the ac i tion of the State Board of Equalization. An Kn gitan View oftke ena ncaa of ia War wi tat tue Uaalted Statt??. Ia th?following article, the London Spec? tator, an able and influential Eagliak jour? nal, discusses the chance? and cost of a war with the United States. The Spectator aeizes at once upon the root, of the difficul? ty, ria : that the Union has a g ou th which it cannot despise abd dare not trust; andin touching upon the questions of finance, the defence of the Canadas, and the power of I Great Britain to rapport a hage army and [ powerful nary, the English editor writes with a straightforward frankness altogether different from the rant and bluster which fill the Northern Radical journals when they hound on the masses to demand Canada or War : "Whydo Americans think us weak? Be? cause we could not defend the Canadian fron? tier ? feasibly not; bat we should infallibly try to do it, and Americans, who on this point at least are not unfair, will acknowledge that to destroy a British army of a hundred thou? sand men, backed by the Canadian'population, and by a fleet sufficient to blockade every port north of the Potomac, would be a task requir? ing all their resources. That effort would over? tax us ? We made it in 1857, sending an army fire times the distance, and, after three yeats of a war which covered a continent, that army remained in India, with its strength unbro? ken or increased, while at home another still greater baal gathered in reservo. Bnt wo have Ireland t Has Dot the Union a South, or do Northern Americans believe that the senti? ment of Irishmen toward us is worse than that of the Southerners toward them ? England, if forced into this horrible war, would and could stop at nothing, would and could rMly in Virginia the men of the %1aal cause? behind well-appointed European army, supported by a population north and sooth, in Canada as in Virginia, which would know that in ber victory alone could their security be found. The blacks? Are we an enslaving power, or is the Indian constitution intolerable to colored men ? Even then, when this had been attempted and the Union was assailed on two sides, from north and south in each direction by four millions of j men rallying round that hardest of kernels, : British army, we should have exerted but one fifth of the strength we displayed in the Pen? insular war, when, with Ireland included, we were but fifteen millions. We are twenty now without Ireland. We had then a minion of men on foot, and drove through Spain a sol? dier who wielded, when the war be*jn, re? sources in men even greater than those at the disposal of General Grant-. Oar finances ? debt doable that of America-that is, an addi? tion of three hundred millions to our debt wouM but leave ns where the Union is now, for abo pays double interest on her loans. In 1815, for every pound an Englishman received he paid 7s. 6d. to the State. He now pays 2s. The difference alone would yield one hundred and twenty millions a year-that is, support the war without incurring debt. Bat then our commerce ? There is no saying what resources thirty millions of Anglo-Saxons may find in their energy and patriotism; but we are Anglo Saxons also, and at first all naval advantages would be on our side. The Americans are de? ceived by Parliamentary talk. There is no fleet in existence which could stand three months before our own; our merchant navy outnumbers that of the world in combination, and earth itself is bat a ooaling station for Great Britaio. From Heligoland to Hong Kong, everywhere we have harbors, dooks, coals, cannon. Oar sailors are the same in race, in training, in courage, as the raen who followed Farragut; our officers the same as the men who blockaded the South; our vessels the result of a competition to which America has been but a par y. Why should we be defeated any more than our cousins ? Ia it not at all events, possible, that after slaughter and ruin such as might make devils wince, we should emerge for the moment masters of the sea, with our commerce as secure as at present, and our maritime prestige higber than ever ? Look at it how we will, war between America and Eng? land is mere destruction, mero loss, a civil war in which the only possible gainers are the enemies of both; but why ia that contest of suicid?e should we not be at least the last to perish ? Because the Union is so large ? Com? pared with the territories of Qaeen Victoria, lt is a speck on the earth's surface. That sen? tence is nonsensical, we acknowledge, but it is true, and is as sensible as the argument it re? l?tes. In war, concentration is everything, aot dispersion, and we have the population of | the entire North concentrated in a territory [ess extensive than Pennsylvania and New i'oik. The policy which crushed the South sannot be applid to ns; for when we had lost Lhe lives the South has lost, all we should feel would be that oar existing emigration bad been diverted to an unforeseen purpose, lhere is something shocking to ourselves in tho mere ose of such an argument; but the war against which we use it would be more shock? ing still-a war between equals, between broth irs, a civil war spread over earth, a war in which every incident of slaughter would have the moral effect of massacre, a war in which every victory on either side would be sheer loss, a war without a limit or a conceivable end. We could gain nothing by the war, even if we triumphed, and America nothing, for Canada is not worth a doubled debt; while if we lose we lose only Canada, and America, if she loses, loses the unity she has spent EO much of blood and treasure to preserve. There never was such an act of lunacy as euch a war would be, yet it is such a war that speeches like that of Mr. Sumner would force on." Htm jpuMiratiflM. J^CSSKLL'S BOOK STOKE.
